Is this course for me?

What will I study?
You will learn basic production and theory skills using our TV
and radio studios. You will also study Future Skills, which will
help prepare you for the world outside College and includes
interview preparation, communication, IT and presentation. At the
end of the year, as part of our prestigious annual media show, you
will present your work at an external venue.
What can I do next?
This can lead to study for a Media Degree. Entry level jobs in
the broadcast and media industry are usually available after
gaining a degree but if you should decide not to go to university
then you may be able to gain employment in related areas such as
sales or PR.
What are the entry requirements?
You will need a BTEC First at Merit or above or five GCSEs A-C,
to attend College for an interview and show an interest in the

broadsheet press. You will be asked to talk about films that you
have enjoyed and current developments in TV and radio that interest
you.
